Osho's No Mind Group by Ma Prem Leela (In English language only)
This is a week long process.
The first stage of this process is "Gibberish" The word 'gibberish'
comes from a Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar never spoke any language, he
just uttered nonsense. Still he had thousands of disciples because what
he was saying was, "Your mind is nothing but gibberish. Put it
aside and you will have a taste of your own being."
In the first stage one has to simply allow whatever comes to the mind
without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance,
leaving language and mind aside. Out of this will arise the second part
a great silence in which you sit with closed eyes. Gathering the energy
within and being present in here and now.

is in? What is love, truth, sexuality, freedom, consciousness? Koans
like this AIM straight to our essence. Lets come together to create
a field of loving support. In this deep cleansing and healing we see
and let go of dependences on memories, emotions, borrowed concepts and
the rest. Thus that what was never lost might be found anew!

will sing and meditate. We are free to cruise within a strict but loving
structure. You are alone yet not alone on this endeavor. All we really
need to know is found within.

Mystery
of Love facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam
All
over the world there is only one desire: for love. And all over the
world there is only one complaint: I am not getting any love.
Love
is not something to be obtained from the outside. Love is an inner flowering.
It arises from some dormant energy within. In this group, Ma Neelam
shares some powerful meditation tools for the opening and purifying
of the heart and rejoicing in the mystery of love.
April
23rd to 27th
Conscious
Living and Dying facilitated by Ma Dharam Jyoti
This
group is an invitation for those seekers who are willing to live with
more awareness and want to come out of the imprisonment of the mind.
Normally mind lives in an unconscious state. One goes on in a circle
on the periphery repeating the same thing again and again. In this group
we will have another look at our lives and experiment with some of Osho's
techniques which can help us to jump out of this repetitive vicious
circle and rediscover our real being in its purity.
Osho
says, "Unless you live consciously, you can't die consciously.
Death becomes the ultimate celebration if your life is a celebration."
Existence
goes on giving us beautiful opportunities again and again.......here
is one more!!

30th to May 2nd
Compassionate
Communication- A Language of the Heart by Sw. Veet Kamaal and Ma Prem
Aastha (In English language only)
Compassionate Communication, also known as non-violent communication
(NVC), is a "language of life" that helps us to transform
old patterns of defensiveness and aggressiveness into compassion and
empathy and to improve the quality of all of our relationships. As the
name implies, this approach to communication emphasizes compassion as
the motivation for action rather than fear, guilt, shame, blame, coercion,
threat or justification for punishment.

Hypnosis
and Meditation facilitated by Sw. Veet Kamaal (In English language only)
Making
friends with your mind and letting go into witnessing
Understanding
the functioning of the mind The power of the subconscious
Experiencing deep relaxation and letting go Learning the art
of self-hypnosis.
We
will find out why Osho had such a high opinion of hypnosis and the witnessing
it reveals:
As
far as I am concerned, hypnosis is going to be one of the most significant
parts of the mystery school. Such a simple method, which only demands
a little trust, a little innocence, can bring miraculous changes in
your life and not in ordinary things only. Slowly it can become
the path of your meditation.
You
meditate, but you dont succeed. You dont succeed in watching;
you get mixed up with thoughts, you forget watching. You remember later
on, I was going to watch, but I am thinking. Hypnosis can
help you; it can make the watcher and the thoughts separate. For spiritual
growth I dont think there is anything more important than hypnosis.
Osho Beyond Psychology #44
May
13th to 16th
Osho
Dhyan Utsav facilitated by Sw. Atmo Ninad
Osho
Dhyan Utsav is a meditation camp which includes all the popular Osho
meditations and therefore celebration happens spontaneously. Also included
will be the breath based meditations, laughter and the dance meditations.
Some small Osho meditation techniques would be conducted that can be
easily integrated in our daily life.
On
the path to meditation, care of the body is equally important. Oshos
vision of right food, right exercise and the right sleep will also be
shared and the meditations based on them would also be conducted.
Osho
Meditative Therapies are group energy processes that lead to body mind
cleansing and with that a deep inner silence follows. Participants will
have a taste of these powerful processes in the demo of these therapies.
During the camp, participants will have a deeper understanding of the
subconscious mind and also have an experience of hypnosis. Through the
hypnosis, it is possible to have a better health and a deeper meditation.
During
the camp, friends who are willing to add meditation and celebration
in their lives can be initiated into Oshos neo-sannyas.
May
24th to 30th
Osho
Neo Vipassana facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
Down
the centuries there have been all kinds of methods of meditation--some
easy to practise and some very difficult. Vipassana is really unique.
Osho says: "Vipassana is the simplest meditation in the world.
It is through vipassana that Buddha became enlightened, and it is through
Vipassana that many more people have become enlightened than through
any other method. Vipassana is the method. Yes, there are other methods
also, but they have helped only very few people. Vipassana has helped
thousands, and it is really very simple; is not like yoga."
A 7-day retreat to witness our body, mind, heart, the breathing process
and relax into a natural and tranquil atmosphere of Osho Nisarga. Slow
meditative walks near the river and into the green fields and forests.

3rd to 6th
Meditate:Celebrate facilitated by Ma Prem Noorie
My
work here is to create such a situation where you can go to the deepest
core of meditation and yet remain available to celebration. Then you
will be silent and happy. You will be silent and there will be a joy
suffusing your silence. Your silence will not be uncreative: your silence
will have great creation arising out of it. It will not be dull-it will
be very shining, it will have a kind of gusto, verve, otherwise it can
become the silence of cemetery.
Let
it be the silence of a garden where birds sing and trees bloom and peacocks
dance and rivers flow and waterfalls have their own song and the winds
blow
and yet there is silence! Silence is not disturbed by
it it is enhanced by it.
All
the sounds- the whispering wind and the swinging trees and the river-
all the sounds become background and in the background of the sound
silence comes more clearly, more loudly. Osho
June 10th to 13th
Live Love Laugh:
Rejoice
in your Being facilitated by Sw. Ravindra Bharti
An
invitation for the meditation retreat to explore and experience the
laughter and dance within you.
Let
your life be a life of a dancing and laughing silence, and you have
entered into the only authentic temple of godliness. I am not interested
in what kind of ideologies you are carrying in your head. They are all
bullshit. I want you to drop them all, irrespective of what they are.
Let your whole being be a part of the universal dance. To me, this is
the only revolution, the only transformation which can bring this earth
millions of joys.
Before
we go into meditation
You will be going to a faraway space within
yourself. Just go laughing and joyous. Seriousness I hate --- I am really
serious! I want my Buddhas to be dancing and singing and enjoying.
I want my Buddhas not to be marble statues but living and breathing
and loving. --- OSHO
June
17th to 20th
Awareness Intensive facilitated by Sw. Satya Vedant
We
are born with immense life energy and a radiance of love and joy. Because
of our habits, patterns and conditionings the awareness of the inner
light gets lost. Meditation and an in depth understanding of our unawareness
alone can lead us into a self rejuvenating endless journey of discovering
the hidden secrets of joy, peace and personal transformation. We shall
learn from Osho that to meditate means to be aware moment to moment.

Osho Sufi Sadhana Shivir facilitated by Ma Dhyan Abha
Osho
Sufi meditation camp is a program for seekers who like to celebrate,
dance & rejoice. The mantra of sufi path is bliss inside
and celebration outside. Oshos sufi meditation techniques set
seekers to tread the path of sufism dancing and celebrating.
Splendid rhythms and music from the land of sufis create an atmosphere
to encounter sufi sama. Devotional sufi kafis, kawaalis and poetry,
in addition to sufi anecdotes told by Osho also lead the way ahead in
the purpose. Stories of sufi masters like Rabia, Hassan. Mansoor, Junnaid,
Farid, Saadi, Husain and many more take us to a point where we feel
the real essence of sufism. Meditations like sufi karwan, sufi sama,
whirling, hoo, heart dance & more help us to explore the rich spiritual
sufi tradition. So this program is a fresh breadth for the lovers of
sufism.
July 23rd to 26th
Osho Purnima Celebration facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam
Guru Purnima also called as Masters Day is a day when disciples
express their gratitude to their master. Osho says that a guru is the
one who liberates us and with whom we are in deep love, trust and reverence.
A guru is a presence.
This is a three day meditation camp concluding on the last day with
sannyas initiation celebration.

7th to 13th
Satori facilitated by Sw. Avikal (In English language only)
Satori
is a radical inquiry. It is going under the skin, in the heart and in
the belly to see and feel what is in the way of being oneself.
What
is my true nature? How do I lose myself or feel that there is not all
of me present in this here and now? What is this emptiness that terrifies
me? What is this restlessness that pushes me to do and do and do? What
is this longing for being more real, truer and complete? What am I doing
here?
Self-inquiry
means to open and unsettle the mechanism that destroys the present by
repeating the past. It means to be in the present, in the here and now.
The
aim of this retreat is having this direct experience of being, an experience
of awakening, and an experience of no - mind.
Satori
is not therapy - but is highly therapeutic - It is an intense, honest,
open and compassionate inquiry using existential questions: Who
am I? Who is in? What is Life? What is Love? Each one of these questions
is a path that can take you from the confusion of the personality to
the peak of clarity.
Satori
is like lightning you can see a glimpse of the whole, all that
is there, and then it disappears. But you will not be the same again.
It is not final enlightenment, but a great step towards it. Now you
know. You have had a glimpse, now you can search for more of it. You
have tasted it, now Buddhas will become meaningful. Osho,

Gurdjieff Sacred Movements- Teachers training facilitated by Ma Prem
Amiyo and Sw. Prem Chetan (Advanced Level)
A meditation through movement, an intensive retreat of self-observation
and self-remembrance, through the practices of Gurdjieff Movements,
as well as the didactic and pedagogic knowledge for those who wish to
become a movement instructor. This path is a beautiful opportunity to
learn to take distance from our mechanical emotions and belief-patterns
and to enter intimately in contact with the richness of our body, its
energy and our potential. According to Gurdjieff, the movements are
coming from an ancient science rather than an art, aiming at bringing
in our daily life some harmony between our three centers : physical,
emotional and intellectual.

would like to use the movements as an additional aspect of their professional
life, such as in the field of education, arts, therapy, self-development
and social work.

Tantra meditation Retreat facilitated by Ma Anand Sarita and Sw.Suta
Bodhisatva (In English language only)
This
retreat is designed for both couples and singles. It is a powerful way
to dive into our expansive potential through the 12 facets of Tantra.
The group structure includes group sharing and periods of silence, quiet
and active meditations, movement and dance, Tantra rituals and group/partner
exercises. It is very special to have the opportunity of bringing together
both Indians and Westerners in this Retreat, bringing Tantra back to
its source in the Himalayas. Indians have the opportunity of proudly
embracing their phenomenal spiritual heritage. As east and west melt
together in this group, we discover the power of Tantra to create a
union of opposites, bringing enrichment to all.

Ayurvedic
Yoga Massage Training facilitated by Sw. Antar Khirad.
The
human body is a living Temple. Connecting with the body, being aware
of it and cleansing it from blockages is vital to the physical, mental
and spiritual health of all human beings.
In
this Therapy Training we will be working with two ancient sciences of
India Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage. This massage combines deep
penetrating strokes with yoga based stretches, which are gentle, orderly
and progressive. The postures are adjusted to meet the conditions and
needs of each receiver. The massage is done with special herbs and oils
to stimulate blood circulation and help release toxins. Other benefits
of this massage include, improving posture, breathing, flexibility,
mobility and restoring energetic balance.
You
will be giving and receiving massage within the group and also training
in yoga theory and will practice basic Asanas, Pranayam and Shudhikriya.
Osho
says, Massage is to come to rapport with aliveness of somebody
elses body and to feel where it is missing, to feel where the
body is fragmentary and to make it whole
to help the energy of
the body so it is no more fragmentary, no more contradictory. When the
energies of the body are falling into line and become an orchestra,
then you succeed.
We
invite you to join us to learn this sacred art and share this sensitivity
with others.

Rising
in Love facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
A
workshop to meditate, become more sensitive and understand to evolve
into a space of friendliness, as Osho points out: Friendliness is the
purest thing you can conceive about love. It is so pure that you cannot
even call it a flower, you can only call it a fragrance.
He adds: Friendliness is a quality not a relationship. It has nothing
to do with anybody else, it is basically your inner quality. You can
be friendly even when you are alone. You cannot be in friendship when
you are alone - the other is needed - but friendliness is a kind of
fragrance. A flower opens in the jungle, nobody passes by - still it
is fragrant. It does not matter whether anybody comes to know of it
or not, it is its quality.
